Book

As the ASEAN livestock industry continues to expand in response to growing global demand for halal food, it faces increasing challenges related to waste generation, environmental degradation, public health, and sustainable resource management. Addressing these interconnected issues requires innovative approaches that integrate environmental science, Islamic values, and sustainable development. Eco-Halal Literacy: Sustainable Waste Management and Environmental Health in the ASEAN Livestock Industry introduces the emerging concept of Eco-Halal Literacy, a holistic framework that bridges halal principles with environmental stewardship, circular economy practices, and environmental health. The book explores how halal compliance can evolve beyond religious certification to embrace ecological responsibility, ethical livestock production, waste valorization, and climate resilience.   Drawing upon recent scientific evidence, international standards, and contemporary case studies, this book examines livestock waste management, environmental health criteria, sustainable slaughterhouse practices, circular bioeconomy, and the One Health approach within the context of the rapidly growing ASEAN livestock sector. It also highlights the role of Eco-Halal literacy in strengthening environmental governance, enhancing food safety, reducing pollution, and supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).   Designed for researchers, academics, policymakers, industry professionals, and postgraduate students, this book provides both conceptual foundations and practical strategies for developing resilient and sustainable halal livestock systems. By integrating scientific innovation with ethical and environmental responsibility, it offers a timely and forward-looking perspective on how the livestock industry can contribute to healthier ecosystems, sustainable economic growth, and a more responsible global halal food system.
